STOCKTON - A woman who was bloody and badly injured waved down San Joaquin County sheriff's deputies near the Stockton Verde trailer park in the 5100 block of North Highway 99 East Frontage Road shortly before 8:30 p.m. Monday, authorities said.

The 45-year-old woman told deputies her boyfriend, 47-year-old Thomas Turner, beat her with a baseball bat and bottles over a three-day period, authorities said. Turner threatened to kill the woman if she left the camp where they were living near the overpass at Highway 99 and Wilson Way, deputies said. The woman told deputies she lost consciousness several times but was able to get away. The victim was taken to a hospital with possible fractures to her nose and cheekbone as well as bruises, welts and abrasions on her body, deputies said.

Authorities located Turner about 7:30 a.m. Tuesday in the 4900 block of North Highway 99 East Frontage Road, deputies said. Turner was arrested on suspicion of false imprisonment by violence, assault with a deadly weapon with force likely to produce great bodily injury, inflicting corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant and attempted murder, authorities said.
